Supernatural 8

The thrilling journey with the Winchester Brothers continues in Season Eight of Supernatural.

It has been seven years since Sam and Dean started battling demons and sacrificed themselves to stop the Devil from taking over heaven, and stopping the Apocalypse from happening.

In season seven they fought one of their worst enemies, the Leviathan, a highly adaptable, seemingly unkillable enemy that takes the form of billionaire Dick Roman.

In their attempt at killing the Leviathan, Dean and Castiel, the angel, are unexpectedly swept into Purgatory.

In season eight, we see Dean returning from Purgatory, and reconnecting with his brother, who has fallen in love and started a life with someone.

But their unexpected reunion causes friction between the brothers, as Sam struggles to let go of his new life, and to take up arms with Dean, to “get back to business”.

In this season the brothers struggle with their inner demons and make a shocking discovery that will lead them towards a destiny neither of them would expect.

If only they could come to terms about whether they are going through it together, or will separate for good.

It is bipolar in its execution. However, no matter how you feel about this season, it certainly is entertaining, but leaves you with a shocking ending.

Can’t wait to see what happens next.

Rating: 7/10.
